So what's gonna be the national media's excuse when we beat Clemson worse than Miami?

As of right now, the media wants you to think us destroying Clemson for 4 quarters means nothing.

But what's gonna be the narrative once Miami doesn't exactly blow them out of the water?

That Lane Kiffin had the upper edge by almost having 15-year NFL vets play on his team.

It would be great if Clemson could somehow pull off that upset. Would be glorious. But it won't happen, their offense can hardly move the ball offensively.

Excuse for what exactly? Are you upset that LSU isn’t ranked ahead of Miami?

I see the downvotes yet no one is answering the question.

Well yeah. They wouldn't want to offend anyone with their offensive offense...

It will be that this is a new and improved Clemson team.

The media is definitely not giving us our due credit so far, but I don’t think this topic would be a good example of it. Different situations.

They are at home, have a long week, and their defense hasn’t given up a touchdown in 7 quarters.


Their offense while not stacking up points has moved the ball except for the game against us.



I legitimately think they have a chance

Will need to split screen LSU and Clemson games

It’s an extreme longshot but I’ll be rooting hard for Clemson and will be tuned in to that as long as it’s competitive.

If Clemson gets to 4-1 with a win over a top 5 team and nothing but nobody’s left on their schedule they’re all of a sudden considered an inevitable playoff team that LSU beat the shite out of

What do you think LSU should be ranked currently?

We are being written off big time.


What happens when this team battles through all the injuries and is 7-1 heading into the Bama game with Trey'dez and Whit set to return?

So we are making up some hypothetical score to a Clemson vs. Miami game? And then making up some hypothetical outrage by the national media?

And we are supposed to sit here and be angry over both of these hypotheticals possibly happening?

Well, Wake and Wisconsin pulled off upsets, so why not Clemson?

Don't really feel one way or the other about the Fightin' Dabos, but I'd like for them to pull this one out. We'd get a twofer: Our beatdown of them would look better, and it would put an L on Miami.

That said, I don't think it will happen (said while busily invoking voodoo chants to help Clemson....)

I was gonna make fun of you for this because in my mind there's like a 90% chance this is a blowout. But then I remembered Cristobal is the coach and he always seems to have a headscratcher game or two every year against an inferior opponent. On the road at Clemson with Clemson having extra rest seems as logical a spot for the annual hiccup as any.

Clemson doesn’t even have to win. Just don’t get blown out and that would be enough lol
